My daughter has been taking voice lessons from Billy for over a year. I can not believe the difference in her voice! Truly amazing!! She also did the "Touch of Broadway" Musical Theater Program this summer. She told me it was the best 3 weeks of her life! You can't get any better than that! We will DEFINITELY be attending both programs next year!

My daughter Camryn is approaching her one year anniversary with New Haven Academy of Performing Arts. NHAOPA has been a dream come true. The staff are exceptional, it feels like home as soon as you walk in, the students are being stretched far more than I could ever imagine to show all the gifts and talents they possess. I would like to publicly acknowledge Ms. Stephanie, (voice lesson instructor) for being such an inspiration, to not only my daughter, but to the NHAOPA family. You've have displayed nothing but patience, a sincere heart, a desire to push students passed their expectations to show them their true potential. I'm appreciate your time (every week) you spend with Camryn, you've made this journey easier for me. Ms. Stephanie keep pushing forward, this is just the beginning!!! Best wishes!! Camryn and Yolanda
My granddaughter came from Maine to attend the recent 3-week Summer Theatre Program. The production they accomplished in that time was nothing short of spectacular. I'd recommend this school for any budding performer. My granddaughter will take continue her education there with FaceTime voice lessons - this little school beats the NYC schools I researched hands down. Love the staff and the expertise they share freely with each child. Can't say enough good about them.

My daughter has been a student at New Haven Academy of Performing Arts since August. She just performed in her first show. This school has exceeded my every expectation. Neil, Billy and Stephanie go above and beyond to make sure every child feels special and comfortable there. My daughter has never been happier. I highly recommend this school to any child or adult interested in singing, acting or instrumental lessons. Laura Palmieri/Student's Parent
My daughter just performed in the NHAOPA Christmas show, "Believe," tonight. She sang her first solo, ever, and we were all very impressed with her singing. She's been a voice student of Neil's for only 6 months, and she LOVES him. He and Billy are both always so positive and upbeat, and full of knowledge. They are very warm, friendly people who obviously care about their students. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in working on their craft. Renee Danielle/ Student's Parent
"I've been singing professionally for the greater part of my life. Until I began working with Billy, I never realized the full potential of my voice. His coaching has made all the difference." Mame Wells/student
"I was a bit apprehensive about signing my 4 year old daughter up for vocal lessons because of her age. I went to a few people to see what they could offer and to hear my daughters voice. I was not impressed. Then I called Billy and he invited me over with my daughter to meet him. It was a fabulous first impression which was 8 months ago! My daughter Myrissa, now 5, has blossomed in both her appreciation for song as well as her voice! My husband and I are truly impressed and very appreciative of just how heat Billy is with our daughter. We highly recommended New Haven Academy of Performing Arts!! We would also advise to start as young as they are interested because she has truly become a beautiful little singer and we can't wait for what's to come!""I've been taking lessons with Billy for just over a month now and not only has he been a great coach, but he's very personable and fun to work with. Billy has great insight when it comes to teaching vocal technique and he creates a comfortable environment for even the most timid of singers."

"The teachers at New Haven Academy of Performing Arts are thoughtful, knowledgeable professionals who inspire my son to do better and better!

"I am clearly and crisply hitting notes that I used to struggle with after only a few lessons! Looking forward to learning all that I can!" Shalaya Knight/singer
"My daughter recently started working with Billy after having been with several other vocal instructors in the past. We both love the way he is able to explain how to change your technique in a way that easily understandable. He is kind, easy to work work, and incredibly talented. We feel very blessed to have found him." Jeri Minutillo/ Student's parent"
"I had my first lesson about a week after I first found Thumbtack. Both the setting up of the time of meeting and the lesson itself was a very pleasant experience, and I will now be starting regular weekly lessons with Billy. He is extremely approachable and makes you feel immediately welcome. He is very down to Earth, and is easy to get along with in a professional manner. The first lesson was mostly to gauge my current singing abilities and to identify key areas of improvement. I am looking forward to the journey ahead!" Mate Nagy/Singer
Thank you so much, I am so blessed to have met Billy at a singing competition and that he took me on as one of his students. If you would have shown me this video of myself a year ago, I would have said no way, that couldn't be me. In a short amount of time I have gained the confidence and knowledge on how to sing with healthy power and mix. Billy has so much to offer his students, he wants us to dream big and he will never make a student feel like a number or like their voice doesn't matter. A good teacher knows their students on a personal level and they hone in on the individual student's needs. When finding a good teacher, it is important to choose wisely because there are teachers out there that lack in these areas and essentially just want your money. Billy is helping me with my own teaching methods as well as guiding me to be the best performer I can be. I can't wait to see where my career will take me, and I am grateful that Billy will be a part of it."

"Working with Billy has been an amazing experience thus far. He is extremely knowledgeable in the art of "mix voice" singing, and consequently my singing has improved immensely. No two lessons are the same as Billy is continually challenging (and entertaining) me! I highly recommend him for anyone, wether beginner or an old pro: he has something to offer everyone!"

"Billy gave me lessons on a cruise ship and his analogies were PERFECT for helping me understand how to sing....wonderful teacher!!!"
